GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. June 30, 2014 – Fifty Louis Street, Start Garden’s downtown hub for entrepreneurs, will be closed from July 2 at noon through July 4th in observance of the Independence Day holiday.

The holiday break kicks off a four-week hiatus from its weekly investment decisions, monthly updates and education classes. Submissions will remain open, but a $5K decision will not be made until July 31st at noon. The 50 Louis space will be open normal business hours in July, and Advisor Hours will continue on Tuesday afternoons.

Its full schedule will return on Wednesday, August 6. In the meantime, they are devoting attention to the growth of their portfolio companies—those investments of $20,000 or greater.
